I have transferred a lot of my Audio files to the USER section of my Genos and some MP3 files All play fine.When you select song A or B make sure it is on Audio. Sometimes it will be on Midi so just change it. Then select the song from User which is now in the place of the Hard Drive and press play. I have most of my packs loaded to Expansion and this dose not stop my songs from playing. They also play fine from my USB stick.

I have MP3 + CDG I use for karaoke. If I download them to the user on the Genos, it will only play the MP3 audio, no lyrics / graphics. But if I play them from a flash drive, then I get the lyrics. But all my MP3's play fine from the user.

It's not a problem, I just leave the usb stick plugged in, and play them there. If I move the file MP3 + CDG from the usb stick to the user section, the mp3 file plays. The MP3 + CDG looks the same as a regular MP3, I cannot see anything like CDG, even on the usb stick.Thanks

Maybe I should give an example just to clarify.I find a beat, want to save as a particular song on the playlist, then when I look up the playlist I pick that beat, it picks that particular beat again but I still want ALL my 8 registration sounds to be the exact same.Is this possible and am I being dumb?

Finally found a way but it's a long process. I find a beat I think resembles a particular song, copy it, paste it to user drive, rename it then just have to search for it. Tried appending playlist or adding items it just takes me on a runaround. Now when I click playlist its just empty aaarrrggghhh.

Your question is off topic. This thread is about playing MP3 files. It's better to start a new thread with your question. But I'll still give you an answer here.

Storing styles and voices for songs in MusicFinder is a bad idea. It works, but comes with many disadvantages (as you have discovered).

The "Yamaha way" is to use registrations for remembering settings. Use one registration bank per song. This gives you ten settings per song. Give the registration bank the name of the song. Make a folder on the User drive, named "REGISTRATIONS" for example. Put all your registration banks in this folder. Now you have one place where you can find all your song settings in alphabetical order.

When you want to play registration banks in a certain order (not alphabetical), you order them in a playlist. If registration banks are beads, a playlist is the string through all the beads. In each entry in the playlist you can set which registration of the registration bank should be selected.
